“Not impressed at all. I was so excited to have an isreali style falafel in ct. Traditionally isreali falafel sandwhiches have salad, pickles, falafel and tehina. It was dry with only diced tomatoes and falafel balls in a pita pocket. I don't get it.Update: The owner called back, apologized and refunded me! Thank you!!!“
“Looking for an authentic fresh Mediterranean spot? Then my Gyro is the place to go. It’s family owned, so you know they care about the people and the ingredients they put in their food. There’s not a lot of additives, so the quality is great and not filled with a lot of unhealthy ingredients. Vegetables were fresh. The lettuce is Crisp tomatoes are juicy and the White sauce or cucumber sauce is a perfect blend to put over any of the food you get. The hummus tasted like he just whipped it up in front of us. The service was amazing. We were greeted soon as we walked. He gave us a few recommendations and some samples of things we might’ve wanted to try in the future. The owner is the cook, so he takes pride and what he do. Had great conversation and a few laughs while waiting. He’s very interactive with his customers. As people where walking in he knew them a a first name bases. There can be some wait time for some of the chicken but that’s so he knows no one will get sick and he can sleep at night. Overall, my experience at this location was exceptional.“

“LOVE Rawa! Consistently good food, service, and atmosphere. The service is excellent and attentive. They brought a dessert on the house for a birthday guest. The food is very reasonably priced. The sampler platter of dips is fantastic. Creative bar menu with a great selection of beers. Our go-to place in New Haven especially for concerts at Westville Music Bowl.“
“Had an amazing time at this Middle Eastern spot with my family. From the get-go, the vibe was cozy, and the staff made us feel super welcome. We dove right into some hummus and warm pita that was just out of this world. I went for the chicken pies and cheese pies as well and they were really good. and let me tell you, it was melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything tasted authentic and you could tell they really care about the details. The live music was a sweet touch, too really set the mood. It felt like a mini getaway in the middle of our busy city. The crew here knows their stuff and gave us great recommendations. If you're looking to try something new or just in the mood for some solid Middle Eastern eats, this place won't disappoint. Definitely coming back!“
“Lemon a chicken with rice and salad...DELISH...I asked the counter person if the rice was like Lebanese rice yellowish with vermicelli and onions etc. And he didn't know...ummm I'm funny, but if you work in a place ,know your product a little bit. But good food just the same..Yeah I'm going back again and “
“We were in front of the hotel and decided to try it. The food was good. The bagels are homemade and very delicious. Benedicts great too.The format is a bit strange: The drinks and desserts are brought by one person and the food by another, like two companies in the same place. In the end, you end up paying two different bills. Curious.“
